This is the Day

This is the day.

There are plenty of challenges in every day.
Any day can present a conflict in need of resolution.
Any day can present a battle in need of fighting.
Any day can present a mountain in need of climbing.

But every day, every single day, you have a cause,
A choice,
A claim.
You can rejoice.

Today, this day, you have cause to rejoice and be glad
Simply because God made the day.
Bad things happen in our days,
But there are no bad days because God makes no bad things.

So, I bless you to marvel in the day just because it exists
And you’re alive to see it.

This is the day the Lord has made;
May you rejoice and be glad in it!
